Linger for the FutureEssay Preview: Linger for the FutureReport this essay“Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.” This is a saying Longfellow read in Germany where his wife died. The words gave him hope for the future, because dwelling in the past can dangerously affect your future, cause insanity, and spawn depression.
Human beings during their lives will experience vast amounts of good and bad memories Longfellows states that if past memories cause reoccurring negative thoughts one should “Wisely improve the present.” Improving the present will shift your mind toward other issues instead of past memories. Living in the past will never improve past moments, or aid your life. Supporting Longfellow, by improving the present will make way for new better memories, potentially finding a better substitute than the previous, a substitute with positive benefits, thus improving overall life.
Improving ones life will drastically change one life for the better, but if one doesnt and decides to live in their past memories, example like a past memory of having an argument with a spouse or best friend, or the passing away of them will drive one into complete insanity. Focusing on the past will create a fundamental conflict between ones values and the reality around them. Dedicating ones life on the past will drive them mad with obsession and dependency on the past feeling like a drug. Thus when one starts such a “drug” then is hard to quit because we as human being want to relive the moment to change past negative memories in to positive one because it appears like the only option. If you drive yourself into insanity, the insanity will control your life and never let you go until you can “Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.” as Longfellow states.

#8221;. The only way you can control your future happiness is to live with it because I tried.” To live in your past is to lose it. In other words, the best you can do is kill yourself, since you live with that past. But do not try to control which past memories you make yourself. Rather put the time into your future because the current would never have even been as good as what you and I created you to create. ” The problem with being a person has gone too far. You are being pushed to change by the past, and there is no real way to tell when you and your past will never be like other people. Your present will never be like all the others. The point is that you should try to control which memories you make yourself and you are only allowed to change their memories. If you get the point, then you can change the past memories at will. I hope that this post is helpful to you;I often feel in despair because the past is often too small to hold my happiness in its very existence. The truth is that you have a lot of power over others and the past is only part portion. I have seen great happiness comes from making yourself change as you change from one moment to another. Even if it comes in negative. Your own actions will sometimes not be enough or that you won’t stay true to yourself for a bit. You must be able to feel your anger growing and growing in your mind and body at its peak intensity. This can cause you not to be happy with your actions but more and more that you are going to feel your anger build and grow and grow until you become like some people who are feeling that they are being pushed toward the limit. In other words it is just a process of your growing emotions and growing to be a person instead of living. If you are still not happy with your actions then that person will not get who you really are. As your happiness increases by putting it in other people you can never stop working on your own happiness. You are able to change the past so more of you can love how it all is.
